RUGOSA ROSE, SIR THOMAS LIPTOX 



Ne\v and Rare Hybrid Rugosa Roses 



For years we have been ar'vocating the planting of this class of new and rare Roses, which is now 

 rapidly acquiring general popularity. Their uses are most numerous. For making impenetrable ornamental 

 h^ges and screens they are splendid, as they are unequaled for a single specimen, clumps and cemetery 

 decoration. The Rugosa Roses are hardy in all sections of United States, rapid growers, usually attaining
